Mouse lies spread out beside me, his rumbling purr vibrating against my leg as I run a hand through his fur. He looks up at me through hooded eyes, content, relaxed, loved. Smiling to myself, I continue my rhythmic motions, watching as his eyes glided close, watching as sleep took had, a ghost of a smile dancing on his lips. Sometimes I liked to imagine what my life might be like if I was Mouse, to come home to hands full of love, to smiles and kisses and food. He didn't have to beg for attention, for love, it would always be there, an abundance that never ran short.

Over my shoulder I hear the door of the apartment rattle, a moment later Moxie pokes her head in and I grin, carefully peeling myself away from the dozing cat. "Let's spar," I announce, grabbing her by the elbow, "I feel like punching something." I try to give her my best and brightest smile, slipping on some flip flops I drag her to the stairs that would lead to the roof and a small sparing mat.

The sun had just begun to kiss the horizon, painting the sky in magnificent oranges and reds and pinks as it begun it finial decent of the day. I don't give her a choice as the door closes gently behind us, kicking my shoes to the side I pull off my jumped, my singlet hugging my tanned body tightly. "The first one to fold loses," I start, tying my dark hair up into a high pony, making sure that the gentle breeze did not blow loose strands into my vision.

"The Games are coming up," my lips spread into a grin once again as I take up the position on the opposite side of the mat. "Don't go easy on me Mox," I challenge my stance instantly taking on of a fighter.

"Cause I won't."

I lunge, my eyes alight with the challenge.

The morning air was warm and humid. I'd decided to venture into the outdoors to go for a hike and take some pictures with my camera, as I'd always had quite the passion for photography. It had warmed up outside since yesterday, so sweat coated my brow after I hadn't been out there all that long. That's summertime for you.

The photo that I had taken while I was out that I was the most proud of was of a bright red bird perched up on a high up tree branch. You could see the detail of the bird's feathers and the shimmer of the sunlight in the photograph. It really was quite a nice picture, if I did say so myself. I was going to make sure to print it when I got home so that I could frame it and hang it up in my room. Only the best of my photos got the opportunity to adorn my bedroom walls.

When I got home, I opened the door to the apartment only to be immediately greeted by Winnie.

"Let's spar," she suggests. Although, after she had her hand on my elbow, I realized it was more of an order than a suggestion. I didn't usually take orders from people, but Winnie was my best friend, so that didn't bother me nearly as much. She told me that she felt like punching something, and I suppose I was going to be that 'something'. Although, I was a 'something' that wouldn't just get hit without a fight.

She smiles and then proceeds to put on her flipflops. While she does this, I put down my camera. I don't want anything to happen to it, and I suppose printing the photo can wait. I smile back at her. I always enjoyed our sparring matches, so I was sure this would be fun.

Winnie leads us to the roof where our sparring mats are set up and tells me that the first one to fold loses while she puts her hair into a ponytail, and I follow suit, using the hair tie on my wrist- it's best to keep my hair out of the way when we do things like this.

She mentions the Games coming up and said not to go easy on her because she won't go easy on me. I nod.

"Oh, no worries there." I say this with a smirk.

She throws her first punch and I manage to block it quickly. Had I not been as swift as I was, that would've hurt.

"C'mon Winnie, you can put up more of a fight than that, can't you?" I tease with a smile on my face. Then, I swing back.
